Big Hands and Storylines:
Vanessa Rousso Busts
After hanging on with a short stack for a few orbits, Rousso got her last 5,000 chips into the pot with K
Q
against her opponent’s 8
8. When the board rolled out T75
T5, she slipped away from her table and disappeared behind the rail.
Ivey Doubles Up With Ease
Pre-flop, Daniel Negreanu raised to 2,400 and was called by Phil Ivey and another player. The flop came T86 and the players checked around. On the A turn, Ivey bet 8,500 and was raised by his opponent to 18,500. Negreanu quickly folded and, with the action back around to him, Ivey moved all-in for about 26,000. His opponent called and showed A-K, but was well behind Ivey’s A8. The river was a blank and Ivey now has a stack of over 50,000.
No Mo’ Toto
Toto Leonidas, all-in pre-flop, found himself dominated by his opponent. His AJ would need major help to overcome the AQ of his adversary. The flop came with an ace, pairing both players, but neither the turn nor river were a jack, and Leonidas joins the growing list of players to be eliminated today.
